Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Garden Green, Gold Soriee

I had totally forgot that we had Calypso Coral embossing powder...how could I forget this?!?!?  I have a love hate relationship with the whole embossing process, but I LOVE the end result!!

Sharing in the Joy

Whew...made it to Wednesday!  Not only are we half way through the week, but it's also time for an all new Freshly Made Sketches sketch, and Amy has a simple sketch that has a lot of room to play.

I kept my card pretty simple and CASE'd the card from the 2015 Occasions Catalog on page 34.  I love this stamp set and yes, I did use the Blendabilties on it...I just can't let them go yet!

It's another dreary, rainy day here, so I spent my lunch hour coloring these pretty flowers instead of walking my dog...she's been giving me the evil eye ever since!  I hope the weather clears up soon so I can take her after work...there will be a new hole in our yard if I don't!

 

Hope your day is full of sunshine!!

 

Happy Stamping!
